Will WHAT3WORDS take off?

[Talbot]

Fully integrated into Navmii, What3words is a universal addressing system based on a 3mx3m global grid. Each of the 57 trillion 3mx3m squares in the world has been pre-allocated a fixed & unique 3 word address.

As it is an algorithm it takes up less than 10MB, small enough to install on almost all smartphones and works across platforms and devices.

I've downloaded the app and tried it to pinpoint accuracy and just wondering if it can replace latitude and longitude navigation for ease of use and simplicity? I'm thinking about our poi's here.

Sounds like it should work ok.

Personally, I like latitude and Longitude because I don't like change!

 

[oldish hippy]

well there is less than three mtrs from my house to next door either way so my address is not three word as it could send you next door

I've seen this before, and whilst very good, I couldn't think when I would use it...

Many in more remote places might.

Sailed for ten years lat and long is now in the blood to old to change now
